This is a spinoff of #192 - essentially we want a dim backlight to be the startup state until the computer sends #192's ping, in which case we can enter a "running" state. This prevents say, the computer from failing to boot, hitting an EFI prompt, and then just sitting there at full brightness.
In the future, when we have real power management, it also prevents killing the battery in this instance.
